My 4th Great Grandfather Nathan Frizzell served in the Revolutionary War out of South Carolina. I descend from him thru two lines-- one thru his daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Frizzell Manley and the other thru his son, James Marion Frizzell. Below is just a small portion of the information contained in his Revolutionary War Pension application. In addition to the usual service details it also gives a pretty good detail of the families residences. Some of them ended up in Calloway Co. Kentucky.
